Magic Key

PART 20 - DEAL

I walked into the factory gate with Sasi and Fara. Suddenly Sasi and Fara say goodbye first for no apparent reason. Soon someone patted me on the shoulder from behind and greeted me.

"Good morning, Ay." Sweepings.

"God." My ringis because the clap was right about the wound on my shoulder last night.

Without even looking I knew that he was Zaki. So this is why Sasi and Fara left me first.

"Why? Is my clap too loud?" Ask Zaki.

"Not that. You're just about the wound on my shoulder." I said honestly.

"You're hurt? Who hurt you?" The worry was clearly accompanied by a noticeable change in his attitude.

"Let me tell you. I have to go to the clinic now."

"Bair I'm interrupting."

Then I stepped towards the clinic located in the frontmost building in the factory area. Zaki caught up with me quickly.

*****

"When did you get this wound?" Ask the doctor who handled me.

"Evening, Doc. Midnight. I didn't dare go out looking for a Doctor in the middle of the night, so my friend gave me first aid and bandaged this wound with a makeshift bandage." Reply to what is.

"Your friend is competent enough to provide first aid. It's just that your wound wasn't very clean when it was cleaned. If you don't get here soon, maybe your wounds will get infected." Obviously Doctor.

"I'm going to clean your wound again, maybe it's a little bit painful because the blood and dirt are already stuck to your wound." Added the Doctor again.

"All right, Doc."

The doctor took a device that I didn't know what it was called, which obviously was to clear my wound.

"What happened, why did you get hit by a sharp object in the middle of the night and hurt you like this?" Ask the doctor, I think he tried to divert the pain I received, but the question not only managed to divert me from the pain, it also made me lose my word.

I didn't think the doctor would ask this. He knew that I was hit by a sharp object.

I looked away, trying to find the right answer. I could have lied to Sasi and Fara by saying this was an old wound. But I wouldn't be able to lie to a doctor.

"This.a knife suddenly fell out of place as I picked up a glass of water."

"Shouldn't put a knife on a high place."

"Yes I understand, Doc."

The doctor did not seem to mind my answer, but as soon as I looked at Zaki, Zaki looked at me with a sharp look. Does he not believe in the reasons I say?

"Done. Do not overdo too much movement. Don't lift the heavy ones for a while." Doctor's message after completing the work.

"If you want to rest first, the doctor can give you a license." Ask Zaki suddenly.

"No need, Zak. Don't overdo it." My reply.

The doctor suddenly stared at me intensely, then turned to look at Zaki.

"Is this your girlfriend, Mr Zaki?" Ask the doctor while smiling sideways.

"What's? Nonsense. I'm not his girlfriend." Refuse fast.

Instead of answering, Zaki gave a smile to the doctor.

"I wrote you a letter asking for relief for your work. What's yourname?" Ask the doctor who has grabbed a piece of paper and is ready to write.

"Ayri Annisa's. But it's not necessary, Doc, I can do the job as usual."

"He's a hard worker." The doctor said to Zaki while pointing at me. Zaki replied with a ruckus.

The doctor raised one eyebrow. "Where did you get the job?"

"Pre-easy Fortuner, Doc."

The doctor kept writing on his paper.

"It." The paper was handed to me.

"You can use that if needed. For heavy materials you ask for help to your teammate. Don't force. Understood?"

"I understand, Doc."

"And this is pain medication. Drink it if you need it, your wounds aren't too serious."

"Thank you, Doc. Then excuse me."

"I can't believe it was a knife fall. Tell me why I got hurt?" Zaki immediately attacked me with questions as soon as we walked out the door of the clinic.

I stopped my steps after moving away from the clinic about ten meters away.

I sighed then turned my body to face Zaki. Right, Zaki doesn't believe my reasoning.

"I was attacked by a giant gorilla, Zak. He's got celurit, and, and, and he's after me, Zak." I said irregular.

"What-what? Who's she?" Zaki looked so surprised.

"I don't know, Zak. He often disturbed my sleep. I never even slept all night because I was afraid that if I slept she would come again." I said with irregular breaths.

"She came to you, or your dream?"

"I can't explain either, Zak. It was like he came in a dream but it was real. For example, this wound."

Zaki looked at me intensely. It was diving through my cornea.

"You need to move out, Ay." Zaki said seriously, but his movements seemed restless.

"What's? Why?"

"That place is not right, Ayri! Do you want to put yourself in constant danger? What if you get hurt again?" Zaki's words sounded firm. I flinched a little, but I couldn't agree with Zaki's request.

"No, Zak. Let me just. I don't want anyone else to experience the same thing I did. Let me get hurt, no more."

Zaki gaped, maybe he didn't think I would say that.

"I'm not sure if I moved, that thing would stop chasing me. I don't know if I'm threatening his existence, but I'm sure I'm the only one he's after." I said again, trying to change Zaki's mindset so as not to force me to move from there.

"How many times has he disturbed you?"

"I'm not sure how many times, but he's been coming to me since I first stayed there."

Zaki let out a rough breath. "Forget over. You can stay there, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What?"

I smiled at Zaki's words. He is not the kind of a colossal person who imposes his own will in various ways. He is the type of person who respects the opinions of others. I'm relieved.

"No problem. So, now we go to breakfast?"

"Okay, come on."

Then we walked down the stairs, where we used to eat breakfast.

"What did you cook this morning?" I asked Zaki, pulling out a chair for me to sit on.

"I just made an omelette. It's your part." Zaki handed me a breakfast box.

I take it, "Thank you."

"You cook?" I asked while opening the lunch box.

"Yes, who else?"

I put the first spoon in my mouth. Delicious, like every day.

"Where's better your cooking or Zian's cooking?" Suddenly I wonder how Zian cooks.

Zaki furrowed his brows. "Maybe it's better to cook Zian. He also has more ideas for cooking than I can only cook it - that's all." Then Zaki stuffed a spoonful of omelette rice into his mouth.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes. If you want, I'll have him cook for breakfast tomorrow. Let you try Zian's cooking too."

"Can?" Tanyaku.

"Why not?"

"No papa?"

"Na, papa."

"If so please number Zian I would like to eat the food he made. Who knew he'd cook a special meal if I asked." I said I sound confident.

"Hahaha.okay that's it. I'll say it as you please."

"Thank you."

We continued eating without any conversation afterwards.

I wiped my mouth with the tissue I always had in my bag. I'm done.

Same with Zaki. He packed the food he brought.

"By the way Zian has a girlfriend yet?" Tanyaku.

"Why? You're planning to sign up as her boyfriend?"

I chuckle. "If you can." My reply is still a fad. Then I laughed, Zaki laughed.

"I know for now he's single."

"For now, or has she never been together before?"

"Earlier. But now it's alone."

I'm mangosteen. "Isn't Zian's girlfriend wrong to think you're Zian, or is it?"

"Ever several times. Zian's girlfriend used to often not know which Zian was Zaki. I think he's got a hard disease recognizing people's faces."

"Isn't he? Is there such a disease?" I seriously want to know.

"Maybe." Zaki shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't blame him because you guys are so much no different." I said.

"If you could separate me from Zian from where?"

"The fly's forehead." I said while pointing at my face as a place where the mole was attached to Zian's face.

Then we laughed again.

"If your boyfriend, ever wrong like Zian's girlfriend also not?"

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"Never had a boyfriend?" I don't believe it.

"Yes." Yeah." Zaki's reply was brief.

"Seriously?" I went back to making sure.

"Yes." Yeah."

Suddenly my chest developed. I don't know, but I feel relieved and happy. So if I can be Zaki's girlfriend then I'm Zaki's first girlfriend, or even Zaki's first love too?

Ahhh Ayri! Think what are you! Don't let yourself drift if you don't feel the pain of falling.

"If you?" Ask Zaki suddenly.

"What?"

"Ear or have a girlfriend?"

I'm shaking. "Nothing. Never have."

"Then anyway? Nowadays there are still those who have never dated when they are your age?" Zaki's question managed to pique hearts.

"Aren't you also a child today, why haven't you ever dated? If I was normal because I just graduated from school and was only 18 years old. Usually in college many are often entangled in love with a classmate. You didn't have time?" I asked him to reverse the question from her.

Zaki shrugged his shoulders relaxed. "No, no."

"Or are you the type of person who likes to baperin the girls keep abis it left so? Just PHP-in girls, is that it?"

Zaki chuckled, his hand he used to shuffle my hair. "Little boy talking about love. I'm going to the office first." Zaki moved, maybe he wanted to get into his room.

I stood up and grabbed my bag. "Thank you for breakfast."

"As long as you like me I'm happy too."
